MC-SEND-DATA Verb

The MC-SEND-DATA verb sends data to the remote TP. The local TP moves data into

the SNAX/APC send buffer by using MC-SEND-DATA. Using this verb does not

necessarily cause the data to be transmitted immediately. Subsequent MC-SEND-DATA

verbs cause the new data to be concatenated with the data already in the send buffer.

The data is sent to the remote TP when the send buffer overflows or when SNAX/APC

receives a verb from the local TP that explicitly causes the data to be transmitted

(flushes the send buffer). These verbs are:

CONFIRM

DEALLOCATE

FLUSH

PREPARE-TO-RECEIVE

RECEIVE-AND-WAIT

When sync point support is employed, the MC-SEND-DATA verb is used to send PS-

HEADERs.

MC-SEND-DATA completes when SNAX/APC has placed the data in its internal send

buffer.

Note. The fields MC-SD-DATA-LENGTH and MC-SD-DATA-AREA are not defined

by the SNAX/APC DDL because they cannot be created by DDL. The SNAX/APC

DDL provides example definitions for these fields in COBOL and TAL. You must

create the definitions for these fields.
